A Item Variant is a different version of a Item, such as differing sizes or differing colours.
Without Item variants, you would have to treat the small, medium and large versions of a t-shirt as three separate Items;
Item variants let you treat the small, medium and large versions of a t-shirt as variations of the same Item.
To use Item Variants in ERPNext, create an Item and check 'Has Variants'
* The Item shall then be referred as a 'Template'
<img class="screenshot" alt="Has Variants" src="{{url_prefix}}/assets/img/stock/item-has-variants.png">
On selecting 'Has Variants' a table shall appear. Specify the variant attributes for the Item in the table.
In case the attribute has Numeric Values, you can specify the range and increment values here.

> Note: You cannot make Transactions against a 'Template'
To create 'Item Variants' against a 'Template' select 'Make Variants'
<img class="screenshot" alt="Make Variants" src="{{url_prefix}}/assets/img/stock/make-variant.png">
